The fourth and final week of the City of Columbia’s month long clean-up initiative, “Columbia Clean-Up,” begins in District 3 today, April 21, 2023. The City of Columbia’s Solid Waste division has placed dumpsters throughout the district, so citizens across the district have access to a dumpster near their community.
The City of Columbia encourages neighborhoods and districts to help beautify their communities and protect our environment by disposing yard debris, bulky items and unwanted materials from the streets and lots throughout the area.
“Cleaning up Columbia one neighborhood at a time, one street at a time, puts pride back in our neighborhoods,” Mayor Daniel J. Rickenmann said. “We get 15 million visitors in Columbia and they ride throughout all our communities and every gateway. We want them to see who we truly are, the shining star in the middle of the state that is our capital city.”
The fourth week of collections will be from Friday, April 21st – Thursday, April 27th. Below are the approved locations of dumpsters for the following week:
– MLK Park | 2300 Greene St.
– Rosewood Park | 915 Elm St.
– Edisto Discovery Park | 1912 Wiley St.
– Columbia Tennis Center | 815 Whaley St.
– Sims Park | 3500 Duncan St.
– Valencia Park | 3744 Montgomery St.
Items that belong in the dumpsters include yard waste (grass trimmings, limbs, shrubbery, leaves, etc.), furniture, clothes that can’t be donated, children’s toy (plastic bikes, slides, etc.), Styrofoam and litter pick-up bags. Please refrain from putting trash, electronic or hazardous materials into the dumpsters. If you have any questions on what materials are accepted in the dumpsters or other general information about Columbia Clean-Up, please contact Solid Waste at (803) 545-3800 or e-mail [email protected].
